Exploring Chiapas in 4 days from San Cristobal de las Casas

I recently returned from a week at a Spanish Language school in this town near the Guatemalan border. I stayed in the private house of a woman recommended by the school, Instituto Jovel, which I also recommend. Flory Burguete owns a four bedroom home in the middle of town, about a three block walk from the school. You do not need to be attending the school to stay with her. You can book directly through her. You can pay her to prepare meals if you wish. I did and was very happy with her cooking. She intentionally prepares meals well known in the area. She does not speak English but is very quick with her translation app. She is a delightful, helpful woman and added so much to my time in San Cristóbal. The home itself is authentically local, has two separate toilets and a separate shower. The yard is a lovely garden. The altitude in the city is 7,000 feet so the temperature is usually cool. If you're going to that area, do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a stay with her. Cell: +52 967 169-1002. Email: lacasadeflorsc@gmail.com or maryfloryballinasruis@gmail.com
